Christmas in July 2018: Aaron Henton

Muppet Christmas Carol. It gives the classic tale a unique spin while staying true to the story. What makes it great is that Michael Caine plays Scrooge straight - he doesn't try to be a human-muppet. His performance in contrast with the muppet performers keeps the heart of the story. Oh, and Bob Marley.

2) Which decade produced the bulk of your favorite Christmas entertainment?

I guess it would be the '60s, with Charlie Brown, Rudolph, Frosty, the Grinch, and so many great sitcom Christmas episodes. The early '70s Rankin Bass shows follow closely, but since I was born in 1964 and grew up watching the classic '60s shows, it's the 1960s for me.

I'm with Ernie--I'd LOVE to see a classic Star Trek Christmas episode. Just watched Shatner in a Santa suit in the 1983 Christmas episode of T.J. Hooker--and it fits him well! :D That's a good suggestion, Aaron.
